i think one of the dopest things about wade is just the fact that hes a bit undersized like 6'4 for SG isnt great size but he was just better at basketball than all his opponents
in his prime wades ability to change direction was so ridiculous. it didn't matter what kind of team defense you played on him....he could get to the rim whenever he wanted.
jacson163 yes I have, and I think peak for peak, Wade was the better player, and much more effecient. Wade put up the 2nd best stats up ever from a shpoting guard since MJ. If it weren't for his degenerative knees, he'd easily have passed up Kobe, stat wise, and accolades wise.
Denarius Randolph no he wasn't... you Dwayne wade fans are ridiculous. Lebron rightly deserved MVP. That's why he got 109 first place votes and Dwayne Wade had 7.....
He was the best player in the world from october 2005 - june 2011 (minus the year and a half of injury from feb 07 to aug 08). and his 08 olympics to 11 nba finals form is the best player ever.
+Charles Ridgell it's all about usage... Mj never shot the 3 very much... Kobe and T Mac were both volume 3 pt shooters... So the numbers were skewed because of usage... Had Mike relied on the 3 his numbers would've been inflated as well... Compare the career percentages and they're not as different as you might assume
Francesco I think he still is, it's him and Kobe neck & neck, LeBron not dat type of player he can make players around him better and score, but he's not as explosive as wade, clutch like wade or lead like wade.
+Jamal Wallace we said wade is the best defending sg.... Not best sg... And stop eating mjs ass everyday of your life... He is the goat but he's not the best at everything
+Hood Ass Niggga do you not know that dpoy stands for defensive player of the year? Smh... D Wade is a great defender but no where near as dominate on that side of the ball as mj... Mike and gp are the only guards to win dpoy in the past 30+ years... Watch your mouth clown...
This DWade has always been here. The only we havent seen him go hard like is because lebron was here. Hell be back no matter what anyone says about his injuries. That I believe.
ive been watching high lights of this man for the last two days. Wade is fucking incredible, his footwork, and body control makes me giggle like a kid. I love these videos thanks.
The 08-09, Wade, LeBron, Kobe, Melo, Howard, Derron Williams, Chris Paul, etc. we're all unstoppable that year. They had all just won Gold in the Olympics together and came back killin' for their respective teams.
better than jordan. what version of jordan was doing stuff this high degree of difficulty??? 4-5 guys are guarding him on some of these plays. he’s blocking 7 footers face to face under the rim.
Watch how D Wade leans his shoulder at a low angle toward when he turns the corner, making it impossible to gain leverage and push him off his path. Then he explodes out of this low position with his shoulder and the defender has no choice but to lean back or try to contest across his body--lots of and-1s either way. Anthony Edwards is doing that right now, to great effect.
Eyo first of all I didn't disrespect you alright I gave an opinion , and I didn't say Iverson was the best I said he is top 3 and wade is somewhere up there
young nas If you wanna backtrack at least delete the comment where you said AI was the top 2 guard of all time. How you gone deny you said that when I'm looking right at it? Loool.
Wade from 2006-2011 was the 🐐. So underrated when compared to other hall of farmers. I think if he never had his major knee injury he's right there with LeBron
This was the time when Pat Riley wasted D-Wade's prime years. Dude just needed a little bit of help, a couple of veterans and valuable role players, he would've took this heat to the finals.
The thing about these videos is there's always hyperbole in the comment section. Wade was amazing this year, but have y'all seen 09 LeBron? Check out his entire 09 playoffs and then tell me Wade deserved MVP. The man was arguably more explosive than Rose at 6'8"
Looking at this, Wade could have 4+ rings on 26 or 27ppg had he remained healthy. Such a smart player and leader. It's so damn unfortunate that his prime was cut short. Even out of his prime, he still kills younger talent with his smart play #Flash #FatherPrime #Wad3 #MV3
I think that Wades game is the most similar to MJs...they both don't shoot the three ball much but their mid range and attacking the basket game is off the charts. Both took smaller defenders down to the post and exposed them. And defensively both so disruptive...both very clutch down the stretch of games. I'll give the edge to MJ because I would say he was a better defender and slightly better shooter.
Speed was unbelievable in his Prime. My only thing about Wade was he didn't Develop his Pull-up jumper. Would've taken his Game to another Level. Would've helped him out big-time in his Game today as well. I think he got to Comfortable with his Success with Lebron
Can someone please tell me how you drives in so well? Cause he makes it look like the defense he's against is just shitty or not trying, and I know that's not true.. What's the secret to his game that has defenders "stuck in the mud?" Is it pure speed, hesitation/change of pace, handle, ability to see holes in the defense, or a combination of all those? And is there anything I missed? How can I improve my driving/weaving ability? I feel like I can never really fool a defender to commit to a side so much that I can just run right past him and face the next guy.. P.S. I've always been a shooter, and I just really want to add more to my game. Thanks
+AJ Christopher Well no shit. He'd still give him trouble simply because he's the superior athlete, taller, stronger, faster, quicker, longer, whatever than Curry. Actually, in retrospect, Curry might lose to rookie Dwade one on one for those exact reasons. He's not going to be breaking him down with dribble too often (Curry struggled to do so against damn near 40 year old knees Tim Duncan and Kevin Love) and no illegal screens to get him open looks (Draymond, you look more like a pass blocker than a screener). On the defensive end, Curry might rip him a few times with those quick hands of his, but even rookie Dwade could probably just get a head of steam and take it to the rim almost every time.
i think one of the dopest things about wade is just the fact that hes a bit undersized like 6'4 for SG isnt great size but he was just better at basketball than all his opponents
thats a good size plus he's strong
+Jj Jordan D Wade is smaller than some point guards.
+Jackson Salyer Behr A lotta SGs are smaller than Lvingston and MCW
+Brian sTorm fUry my point exactly
He has a 6'10 wingspan wich gives him a huge advantage. He's not undersized
This guy has to be the best slasher of all time
jessc1269 He is you didn't know this?
Sigh. The best slasher of all-time is Michael Jordan. Wade will tell you that. "All-time" did not start in the year 2000.
Should've won MVP that year
+Natsu Tsuna d wade had very little help that year... He deserved MVP...
+Natsu Tsuna no bron had a better squad that year. Wade was undoubtedly the better player
+Natsu Tsuna lol ok .... You're making my point xD. Biggest waste of talent I've seen. A gifted knucklehead who's now in China
+imaad uddin Melo and Kobe were by far the best players in the league that year, that includes Lebron. so no.
+Alain Lamour he's with the rockets now ballin
1st in scoring and 2nd in steals that assuring an mvp my goodness
Forgot to point out he averaged 1.3 blocks, most in nba history by a guard ever
in his prime wades ability to change direction was so ridiculous. it didn't matter what kind of team defense you played on him....he could get to the rim whenever he wanted.
Charles Utley still does a bit. Till today, but way less😢
Greatest slasher in history!
Prime D-Wade to me is the 2nd best SG talent, skill, ability, and overall game wise, behind MJ.
And it's not close.
Have you ever heard of Kobe Bryant?
+jacson163 jr he clearly hasn't prime kobe is damn near best player in history but anyway they get 1 pass
jacson163 yes I have, and I think peak for peak, Wade was the better player, and much more effecient. Wade put up the 2nd best stats up ever from a shpoting guard since MJ. If it weren't for his degenerative knees, he'd easily have passed up Kobe, stat wise, and accolades wise.
JV SPORTS TALK lmao no he isn't. He's not even top 10 anymore. Really research this shit and you'd know.
This is When espn was still working for ratings where they only talked about kobe and lebron. We took wade greatness for granted.
andres g facts. Best player that season and ended 3rd in mvp voting 🤦♂️
He Was Robbed That Year ..
Denarius Randolph no he wasn't... you Dwayne wade fans are ridiculous. Lebron rightly deserved MVP. That's why he got 109 first place votes and Dwayne Wade had 7.....
he was the best player in the world that season
He was the best player in the world from october 2005 - june 2011 (minus the year and a half of injury from feb 07 to aug 08). and his 08 olympics to 11 nba finals form is the best player ever.
+iraqsmansor Why you comment on that a year later?
I dunno, 'cause I saw it a year later.
seb Go look at LeBron's 2009 Playoffs then tell me who was better.
seb no tf he wasn't it was
1.Lebron/kobe
2.kobe/lebron
3.Wade melo or dwight
Wade was on another planet that year. He shoudve won MVP that year.
In '08-'09 he was the closest thing we've had to Jordan
+ForTheLoveOfKnowledge tmac and Kobe shoot better than mj though
+ForTheLoveOfKnowledge t-mac has never reminded me of mj even in 03 he was more like kevin Durant in 2013-14
+Charles Ridgell it's all about usage... Mj never shot the 3 very much... Kobe and T Mac were both volume 3 pt shooters... So the numbers were skewed because of usage... Had Mike relied on the 3 his numbers would've been inflated as well... Compare the career percentages and they're not as different as you might assume

JdmXzavier HONDAMAESTRO I love when people say Lebron can't score. Just shows how much they actually watch him play 😆
dwade= efficiency . offense and defense.
if only he was healthier more throughout seasons his stats would then truly show how great of a player he is. most unique scorer I've watched
just wow man, wade was something else. I know he still has it in him.
Wade's best season no doubt, arguably the best defensive season for a shooting guard
Stop it... Go watch mj's dpoy season... People always wanna say "best/greatest ever"... Sheesh
+Jamal Wallace we said wade is the best defending sg.... Not best sg... And stop eating mjs ass everyday of your life... He is the goat but he's not the best at everything
+Hood Ass Niggga do you not know that dpoy stands for defensive player of the year? Smh... D Wade is a great defender but no where near as dominate on that side of the ball as mj... Mike and gp are the only guards to win dpoy in the past 30+ years... Watch your mouth clown...
+Jamal Wallace stfu Jordan isn't the best at everything
+Derek Bruns he is the best defensive sg... Saying anything else is just hate...
This DWade has always been here. The only we havent seen him go hard like is because lebron was here. Hell be back no matter what anyone says about his injuries. That I believe.
***** hell prove all them haters wrong
prime wade is top 10 ever
Crk1523 Top 5
@IamSSAINVINCIBLEx top 1.
when Wades knees was 100% he was a complete beast. nobody could fuck with him
ive been watching high lights of this man for the last two days. Wade is fucking incredible, his footwork, and body control makes me giggle like a kid. I love these videos thanks.
Prime Dwade is one of the greatest players I've ever seen.
*the greatest
This was Prime D Wade he was the scoring champ as well
The 08-09, Wade, LeBron, Kobe, Melo, Howard, Derron Williams, Chris Paul, etc. we're all unstoppable that year. They had all just won Gold in the Olympics together and came back killin' for their respective teams.
It's like watching prime MJ (1991-1993). Too bad he didn't get the hype in the NBA that year. He was killing it.
better than jordan. what version of jordan was doing stuff this high degree of difficulty??? 4-5 guys are guarding him on some of these plays. he’s blocking 7 footers face to face under the rim.
This was Wade at his peak he is the 3rd best SG of all time even better than Lebron at times.
iraqsmansor Kobe was much superior stop it
Axel kobe was never much superior. Foh
@@LucrativeLessonsWithLandy Facts
@@Axel-ye8tt That bricker was never superior
@@nostalgiacorner1999 no need to be disrespectful to kobe bud

Hearing Prince at the beginning just topped this video off. R.I.P 🙏🏻
Serious props to whoever had this footage! I'd like to see some more!
Wade use to be better than Lebron.
Prime DWade was the most entertaining player I've seen. My favorite player.
True!
His style is impeccable.
style is fuckin goat i know lls
So underrated
The flow of his game was so natural and Jordanesque. The true MVP of the 08-09 season!
he suppose to got m.v.p that year...
this dude will always be my hero
Prime d wade top 3 best shooting guards ever no one in nba history plays off the screen and pick and roll better than him
Allen Iverson is top shooting guard of all time wade is somewhere in top 5
You stupid Allen irverson is not best shooting guard of all time micheal jordan is then kobe then d wade Allen iverson not even top 5 has no defense
Eyo first of all I didn't disrespect you alright I gave an opinion , and I didn't say Iverson was the best I said he is top 3 and wade is somewhere up there
young nas If you wanna backtrack at least delete the comment where you said AI was the top 2 guard of all time. How you gone deny you said that when I'm looking right at it? Loool.
Back when wade was better than lebron ahh the good ol days
Good Times.
Lebron had a great year too
Better than Kobe AND LeBron arguably.
Better than kobrick cryant but not leking
fuck you kobe was the beast player from 06-10
Wade from 2006-2011 was the 🐐. So underrated when compared to other hall of farmers. I think if he never had his major knee injury he's right there with LeBron
!!!!
2005*. He Would’ve Won A Championship In His 2nd Year If It Wasnt For Him & SHAQ Getting Injured In The 2005 ECF.
the best player ever.
I love it when he blocks it with his two hands. His timing is perfect. It's like you could see what's going to happen from a mile.
That splitting the defense then spin move to the rim was nasty!
Curry this season:
29.8 PPG
6.4 APG
5.3 RPG
51.1 %
Wade 09:
30.2 PPG
7.5 APG
5.0 RPG
49.1 FG%
Not to mention defensive stats, where curry is nonexistent
+Saskwatch 98 yup Dwyane Wade arguably the best defender as a guard
+Miami Heat Prime wade>currys career and the whole gsw roster
your boss ask u to come into his office. said he needs to hold a one on one meeting. 30 seconds later ur head between his legs and you hear 3:54
wtf
Lol...you weird
😂😂😂
Lmao. WTF Bruh. Im dead
This guy should play in the NBA.
Fave player of all time
wade got robbed by lebron for mvp this year , as much as i love lebron i'll admit that much.
MC Koncept true
MC Koncept lol no tf he wasn't
No.
Cleveland - (66-16)
Miami - (43-39)
LeBron: 28.4 ppg, 7.6 reb, 7.2 ast, 1.7 stl, 1.1 blk, 49% fg, 34% 3pt & 78% ft
Wade: 30.2 ppg, 5.0 reb, 7.5 ast, 2.2 stl, 1.3 blk, 49% fg, 32% 3pt & 76 % ft
we need this WADDDEEE BACK!!!!!
damn this dude was on another level
This is his best year guys.
He just glides across the court so smoothly
1:58 , derrick rose showing the epitome of nba defense from this year and on.
i miss this wade
He was literally lightning fast that year, the prime of his athleticism
This is the dwayne Wade ive come to enjoy watching this is the dwayne wade that was better than 'bron
AND Kobe.
My guy zigzagging through defenders at 5:52 is a hell of a masterpiece.
Wade with the tub socks and knee pads was my favorite version of him
Healthy D-Wade is probably one of the 20 greatest players to ever play basketball
ohh man!! this version of prime wade will give problems in the nba today.. da flash 3 such a beast
We aint gonna see dwayne wade like this ever again. Damn!!!!
I will miss you Wade!!!!!!!!!
3rd best SG of all time
This was the time when Pat Riley wasted D-Wade's prime years. Dude just needed a little bit of help, a couple of veterans and valuable role players, he would've took this heat to the finals.
this was one of my favorite years. beasley wasnt bad as a rookie i always thought he couldve been good
The thing about these videos is there's always hyperbole in the comment section. Wade was amazing this year, but have y'all seen 09 LeBron? Check out his entire 09 playoffs and then tell me Wade deserved MVP. The man was arguably more explosive than Rose at 6'8"
he used to be so cold why did he age so fast
jj jordan It's called injuries
jj jordan je didnt age fast. The mans 35. Remeber he played 2 yrs on college.
MAMA THERE GOES THAT MAN!!!
Prime Wade in 720p......Legendary.
This was when Wade was himself. No one was better
I can't believe this was 10 yrs ago
And he's still a beast not as athletic but his post and foot work is ten times better
people say Allen overs on is the 3rd best shooting gaurd of all time but is its d wade
Looking at this, Wade could have 4+ rings on 26 or 27ppg had he remained healthy. Such a smart player and leader. It's so damn unfortunate that his prime was cut short. Even out of his prime, he still kills younger talent with his smart play #Flash #FatherPrime #Wad3 #MV3
My god those spin moves 🔥
Prime Wade > any version of Curry or Thompson. Those who argue weren't old enough to witness 2006-2010 Wade.
more highlights pls from that season
Yes ! Thank you :))) You did a great job, as always
KEEP IT UP
He was better than Kobe and LeBron from '04 to '10.
My fave player all time !!💪🏼
Best in the world type season
Band Aid Wade was different
I think that Wades game is the most similar to MJs...they both don't shoot the three ball much but their mid range and attacking the basket game is off the charts. Both took smaller defenders down to the post and exposed them. And defensively both so disruptive...both very clutch down the stretch of games. I'll give the edge to MJ because I would say he was a better defender and slightly better shooter.
Much better shooter... Other than that, totally agree
Who know, with Lebron gone, he might come back
OMG! really really thank you, awesome
Speed was unbelievable in his Prime. My only thing about Wade was he didn't Develop his Pull-up jumper. Would've taken his Game to another Level. Would've helped him out big-time in his Game today as well.
I think he got to Comfortable with his Success with Lebron
BalBin 032 wade was a champion first tho 🤔
Why can't people appreciate him. I mean, DW doesn't care at all, just shows how focus he is in this game.
Man, the play at 5:02
He should have been MVP he carried bums and he had to score 35 for them to be competitive
if this Prime DWade plays today NBA he would destroy anybody plus he is unguardable that year..
Yoo if Miami had dis Dwayne wade wit lebron at that time they would have never lost any finals lol
Justin Norman Yeah but LeBron would have to be Scottie for sure.
uhhh 2011 Wade was Batman and Bron vanished
This is the year he reached his highest peak
His best season ever. However wade was better in 09-10. Mostly 99.6% of people in the basketball world wouldn’t know this.
Wade needs to drop weight again like this in his return to Miami for the 17'18 season!
Probably my favorite player but U can tell he watched to much Jordan😂😂😂
even nicer than jordan.
Still my fav nba player
He was explosive and dynamic on both ends he made fast guys look slow
Can someone please tell me how you drives in so well? Cause he makes it look like the defense he's against is just shitty or not trying, and I know that's not true.. What's the secret to his game that has defenders "stuck in the mud?" Is it pure speed, hesitation/change of pace, handle, ability to see holes in the defense, or a combination of all those? And is there anything I missed? How can I improve my driving/weaving ability? I feel like I can never really fool a defender to commit to a side so much that I can just run right past him and face the next guy.. P.S. I've always been a shooter, and I just really want to add more to my game. Thanks
Speed and body control
Rookie wade>Prime curry
+Kenneth Cristobal (Garena) The fuck????? Rookie Wade over a guy who dropped 400+ 3 pointers in a season???
Don't do drugs.
+AJ Christopher 1 on 1 rookie wade would desroy curry
Kenneth Cristobal Curry was never a great defender. But ROOKIE Wade can't guard PRIME Curry either.
+AJ Christopher Well no shit. He'd still give him trouble simply because he's the superior athlete, taller, stronger, faster, quicker, longer, whatever than Curry. Actually, in retrospect, Curry might lose to rookie Dwade one on one for those exact reasons. He's not going to be breaking him down with dribble too often (Curry struggled to do so against damn near 40 year old knees Tim Duncan and Kevin Love) and no illegal screens to get him open looks (Draymond, you look more like a pass blocker than a screener). On the defensive end, Curry might rip him a few times with those quick hands of his, but even rookie Dwade could probably just get a head of steam and take it to the rim almost every time.
rookie Dwade was dunking on centers. I'll take college wade 1 on 1 vs curry. he got his college jersey retired from only playing 2 years there. 😈
damn if wade would've won MVP he woulda been a legend
He's still a legend...
yea you ain't lying on that
Damn D-wade was Nasty back then
gimme the gun carlton, I want the damn 🔫!
+JV SPORTS TALK Lmao
Imagine if he this healthy last season with the bulls o.O
back when wade was beast
No disrespect to bron but we all know dwyane wade should have won MVP in 08-09
Strong and fast
man I never forgot how much of a killer he was
Second best slasher in the history of the game
1st. let go of the jordan dogma.
